Fixed points and some qualitative properties of neutral functional differential equations, neutral functional difference equations, and dynamic equations on time scale

Yankson, Ernest (University of Cape Coast, 2013-04)

This thesis is concerned with the qualitative properties of solutions of neutral functional differential equations, neutral functional difference equations and dynamic equations on time scale. Some of the equations are of ...
Estimation techniques in generalized linear mixed models with application to disease impact modelling

Mensah, David Yao (University of Cape Coast, 2015-07)

This study applies the theory of Generalised linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) to survey data on disease impact in Ghana. It determines the variables that are responsible for making dependent members of households feel the impact ...
ESTIMATION TECHNIQUES IN GENERALIZED LINEAR MIXED MODELS WITH APPLICATION TO DISEASE IMPACT MODELLING

Mensah, David Yao (Universtity of Cape Coast, 2015-07)

ABSTRACT This study applies the theory of Generalised linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) to survey data on disease impact in Ghana. It determines the variables that are responsible for making dependent members of households ...
Least squares optimization with L1-norm regularization

Nkansah, Henrietta (University of Cape Coast, 2017-10)

The non-differentiable L1-norm penalty in the L1-norm regularized least squares problem poses a major challenge to obtaining an analytic solution. The study thus explores smoothing and non-smoothing approximations that ...
Mercury and other Elements in the Pra River Basin, Ghana

Hood, Christiana Odumah (University of Cape Coast, 2017-11)

Total mercury (THg) concentrations in sediment cores (0-10 cm depth), soil profiles (0-6 cm), camivorous/herbivorous fish tissues, and “Black” samples were determined using Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy ...
An application of optimal control to the sustainable Harvesting strategies of Ghana's sardinella fishery

Mahmud, Ibrahim (University of Cape Coast, 2018-06)

ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to apply optimal control techniques to de Termine the optimal harvesting strategies that would ensure the sustainability ot The Sardinella aurita for future generations. In ...
An Application of Optimal Control to the Sustainable Harvesting Strategies of Ghana’s Sardinella Fishery

Ibrahim, Mahmud (University of Cape Coast, 2018-06)

The main objective of this study was to apply optimal control techniques to determine the optimal harvesting strategies that would ensure the sustainability of the Sardinella aurita for future generations. In this vein, ...
Effect of measurement scales on results of item response theory models and multivariate statistical techniques

Zakaria, Arimiyaw (University of Cape Coast, 2018-07)

The study investigates the effects of response scales of items on results of item response theory (IRT) models and multivariate statistical techniques. A total of sixty-four datasets have been simulated under various ...
A Markov-Modulated Tree-Based Gradient Boosting Model for Auto-Insurance Risk Premium Pricing in Ghana

Arku, Dennis (University of Cape Coast, 2018-07)

In most sub-Saharan African countries, the mechanism for pricing auto insurance policies is tariff based. This means that the key factor that influences price changes is usually based on margins, regulation and legislative ...
Effect of Measurement Scales on Results of Item Response Theory Models and Multivariate Statistical Techniques

Zakaria, Arimiyaw (University of Cape Coast, 2018-07)

The study investigates the effects of response scales of items on results of item response theory (IRT) models and multivariate statistical techniques. A total of sixty-four datasets have been simulated under various ...
Techniques for determining classifications in multiple multivariate data: application to prices of local food items on markets in Ghana

Eyiah-Bediako, Francis (University of Cape Coast, 2019-01)

The study makes use of time-dependent displaying components and structural equation modelling to determine the price levels of key local food items on several markets in Ghana over non-consecutive time periods. The application ...

Eyiah-Bediako, Francis (University of Cape Coast, 2019-01)

The study makes use of time-dependent displaying components and structural equation modelling to determine the price levels of key local food items on several markets in Ghana over non-consecutive time periods. ...
Investigations of Staff Doses during Computed Tomography-Fluoroscopy Procedures Using Monte Carlo Simulation

Gyekye, Prince Kwabena (University of Cape Coast, 2019-04)

Radiation dose to staff during Computed Tomography (CT) fluoroscopy procedures has been investigated using Monte Carlo N-Particle code 6 (MCNP6). Four (4) CT machines located at Korle-bu Teaching Hospital, Sweden Ghana ...
A Monte Carlo comparison of minimum description length model selection criteria for asymmetric price transmission models

Amponsah, Irene Kafui Vorsah (University of Cape Coast, 2019-07)

The Minimum Description Length (MDL) provides an attractive basis for statistical inference and model selection. However, little is known about the relative performance of its different formulations in Asymmetric Price ...
A mathematical model for effective control and possible eradication of malaria

Donkor, Agnes (University of Cape Coast, 2020-02)

In this study, a novel deterministic mathematical model for the transmission and control of malaria is formulated. The main innovation in the model is that, in addition to the natural death rate of the vector (mosquito) ...
Homogenization of elliptic equations in periodic domains: The case of elliptic equations of the curl type

Sackitey, Albert Lanor (University of Cape Coast, 2020-02)

In this thesis, we homogenize elliptic equations in the periodically perforated domain. The two scale convergence method is used in this work for the homogenization. In particular, we homogenize the quasilinear elliptic ...
Structural equation modeling of the impact of teacher variables on student academic performance in elective mathematics of selected senior high schools in Ghana

Ansah, Joseph kweku (University of Cape coast, 2020-10)
